“I know that life isn’t a world’s fair of delights, but I think it should be and hope it will be.” — Walt Disney

If you attempt this at home, make sure you pet the she-wolf first. “Romulus and Remus” is rare for me in that it was as title-driven as it was image-driven. This is another train-wreck between classic and modern myths of two different cultures (taste notwithstanding). Think Rome + Florence + Disney. Here I honor the possibility of black man being the original man, in spite of his relegation throughout history. The past is not what it used to be. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
